Three more arrests in second Occupy L.A. protest

Los Angeles police arrested three more protesters Thursday afternoon as part of a second wave of protests and marches in downtown Los Angeles.

The protesters were arrested about 1 p.m. at 3rd Street and Broadway for obstructing a police officer, police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said.

The group left the Occupy Los Angeles encampment in front of City Hall about noon and is headed toward the financial district. Hundreds were peacefully marching through downtown Los Angeles to protest financial inequality.
